WASHTINGTON, May 22. – The fugitive Slave Law Commissioners to-day decided on the points received yesterday, that it was discretionary with them to allow cross-examinations as to the identity of ownership, and therefore they permitted it in the case of Stephen, claimed by a citizen of Maryland. This case was concluded by the remanding of the slave to the claimant.
